Eduvos Partners with Kortext to Bring Ebooks to Students.

Post by Eduvos, February 8, 2024.

We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Kortext, a global leader in digital learning solutions. This collaboration aims to make textbooks more affordable and accessible for students, while promoting sustainable learning practices. 

Kortext textbooks have been made available to Eduvos students through the South African company Govtek Technologies. Govtek teams up with the best technology partners in the world, like Kortext, to provide Higher Education Institutions like Eduvos with cutting-edge EdTech solutions. 

The partnership with Kortext is another example of how we are embracing modern technology to ensure our students are ready for the world of work in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through Kortext's innovative ebook platform, Vossies can now purchase their required textbooks at exclusive discounted prices. These ebooks offer several advantages over traditional printed textbooks. Eduvos is excited about the financial aspect of the Kortext option. Along with the discount that Eduvos students will receive, ebooks are also significantly cheaper than physical textbooks, reducing a major financial burden on students. This aligns with our commitment to making higher education more accessible to all.  

Students can access their ebooks anytime, anywhere, on any device. Eliminating the need to carry heavy textbooks around campus and allowing for flexible studying on the go. The sustainable part of digital textbooks is also important to Eduvos. Ebooks have a smaller environmental footprint than printed textbooks, as they eliminate the need for paper production, transportation, and waste disposal. This aligns with Eduvos's forward-thinking approach to education, which embraces environmentally conscious practices. 

"We are excited to partner with Kortext to offer our students a more affordable and sustainable way to access their course materials, and to support students to have everything they need to learn in one place on their digital student portal,” said Dr Mia Beyleveld, Innovative Learning Solution Specialist at Eduvos. “This partnership is part of our ongoing commitment to providing our students with the best possible learning experience which keeps up with digital transformations." 

In addition to affordability and convenience, Kortext's ebook platform offers a range of features to enhance the learning experience. Students can easily annotate their ebooks for better understanding and recall and use the search function to quickly find specific information within the text. Textbooks can also be downloaded while students are connected to campus Wi-Fi and then read offline. 

Students will still have the option to choose traditional printed textbooks if they prefer. However, with the launch of this partnership, Eduvos and Kortext are empowering students to make a positive impact on their wallets and the planet by opting for affordable, sustainable ebooks.
